[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to be very efficient with your time and negotiate the number of hours you think you can do in a reasonable amount of time. Have a partner who is a 100% engaged on the home front. Hire a very competent nanny and compensate her well. The nanny should do preschool drop off/pick up.

[b]If you or your spouse think the children are being shortchanged[/b], then one or both of you need to step back. Finally, DON’t have a 3rd.[/quote]

Gee. Ya think?[/quote]

I’m the pp. No, I don’t assume having two working parents means the kids are being shortchanged. [/quote]

I don't either. But I do assume it when someone tells me they work 60 hours/week and their spouse (doesn't have to be either gender, we know lots of same sex parents FWIW) also works 60 hrs. Time isn't infinite and kids who are preschool age are sleeping something like 40-50% of their time. I still don't judge but I can assume that kids are not getting a ton of face time and that's probably a fair assumption[/quote]
